War and Heroism (part II)

« The Political Persona… | Home | Trouble in the Mercan… »

The German political theorist Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) believed that the most fundamental prerogative of the State was its ability to determine “friend” from “enemy.” The enemy is “different” and “alien”—a kind of binary opposition. The Romans understood this idea, as everything and everyone that was not of the Empire was “barbarian.” The naive “multiculturalist” denies that there are inevitable conflicts between states or civilizations; he believes that violence solves nothing—when violence is the very thing that has made it possible for him to express himself. He thinks the soldier is unnecessary, but when this conflicted soul attains high office, he does not dare to disarm the military-industrial complex.
